Juan: Blackbeard didn't cower to anyone

Why would the Easter Island statues want a quiver for? They didn't have bows and arrows.

Hey, hey, hey, guys! We're trying to build a legend here...the Saga of the Notorious Captain Kiwi. Think Paul Bunyan. Hyberbole is good! Why, even Long John Silver himself offered to share his treasure when cornered by the seething Captain Kiwi with a pistol and a dagger in his teeth! "Look, here's me map," sez he. "If ya spare me, Kiwi, I'll put'cha on to half of me chests, I will. And what's more, yer can have yer pick of me men to help ya dig, an' then ya can just kill 'em all after ya finds it! An' ya can even cut the throat of me filthy parrot, here, so he never tells no one of this here deal!"
"#&!* you!", sez his parrot.
But, as we now all know, the ferocious Captain Kiwi grabbed the treasure map, slit Long John's throat, ate the parrot live, and ordered Silver's men to lead him to the treasure. Now, if anyone of 'em 'cept for Long John really knew the 'xact whereabouts of the booty, and actually led Captain Kiwi to all that glorious plunder, is hard to say. But yer can bet if they did, they didn't live to tell about it. And yer wonders why the "good" Captain bolts from the board as soon as he's found out, do ya?! Ha!
"Capital", indeed!

Have I been demoted? Just checking.

Yup, it appears so. I was swapping back and forth between Capfka and Capital Kiwi and somewhere along the line ...

Ah well, me wrists will love it, I'm sure!

Huh? Whowhathowwhenwhywhere?!
Do I really need to know?

Maybe the mysterious Ata stole some of your mojo, Pfranz.

Well, Capfka, it's just the price of your very own Metamorphosis, of course!

Well, as ex-PFC Wintergreen would have said, someone has to do it. Over time I can earn back my lost (and totally meaningless) nominal ranking. But do I want to? That's a good question, I'm glad you didn't ask.

I remember reading an article once how folks named Armstrong and Montgomery continually have their names written and spoken as the other

---

People called Armstrong keep getting called Montgomery and people called Montgomery keep getting called Armstrong? Or "the other" is used as a term of address to people called Armstrong or Montgomery? Either way, it all seems most improbable.
